At the 2024 Doha World Cup,  Arturo Coello  played a key role in helping  Juan Lebrón  as a left-wing sparring match. This constructive exchange between the two champions offered a rare insight into the dynamics within the Spanish selection.

 Coello, thoughtful and methodical , confides to his partner:

" It's often easier to see what's changed in the other person. I know your game by heart, because I had to prepare dozens of matches against you. I know exactly how you play. "

Here are some translated exchanges addressed to Juan Lebron or that the Spaniard addresses to his partners:

" When we play with the lob, we find ourselves facing a moment where we start to be so precise that, finally, we miss it. It is not because of them, but because of us, because we play on the limit. That generates 20 forced errors. "

" Don't say you don't sweat! Do whatever you want, but stay focused. Shut up and let me speak in public, please. Don't talk to me, just play. "

" Tomorrow is the quarterfinals. Don't hit too hard, Juanito. Your strength is not mine. "

" Arthur, I swear I thought you were hurt. It scared me. Luckily, nothing serious. Still 100%. Go for the ball, that's the way to do it. "

" If you want to change strategy and play parallels, go ahead. I'm here to support. Let's do our best. Come on, team! "

" It's often easier to see what's changed in the other person. I know your game by heart, because I had to prepare dozens of matches against you. I know exactly how you play. "

" Artur is incredible. Playing with him is a pleasure. He has so much resources. He is an exceptional guy, on and off the field. I felt very comfortable in these two games. "

" Tomorrow the match will be tough, but for them too. Against Argentina it will be very tight. It's 50/50. "

" We are proud of this team. We gave it our all, from start to finish, including in this final. We became a family this week. "
